Taxonomy

Description
The genus is defined by relative evolutionary divergence (RED) and phylogenomic analysis as a monophyletic group. Straight short rods with slightly tapered ends that occur singly, in pairs, or in short chains. Non-motile. Gram-positive. Strict anaerobe. Use H2 + CO2 as substrates for methanogenesis, growth on formate is poor. Grow poorly on mineral medium with vitamins. Yeast extract, casamino acids, and rumen fluid strongly stimulate growth. Optimum temperature is 30–37 °C.
